Today, a DPF team led by the Director Finance & Operations - Dr. Michael Mayanja Lugemwa - onboarded the @UNBSug Staff SACCO onto the Deposit Protection Scheme at the UNBS Headquarters in Namanve. The onboarding follows the SACCO's licensing by the Bank of Uganda. "This onboarding assures members that their protected savings are safeguarded thus enhancing confidence," Dr. Lugemwa said. To-date, seven out of the ten Large SACCOs that are now under the direct supervision of Bank of Uganda have been onboarded onto the deposit protection scheme, with plans to onboard the others by December. #Yourdepositsareprotected up to UGX 10m.

This week, a team from the Fund led by the Director Finance & Operations - Dr. Michael Mayanja Lugemwa held an engagement with the leadership of Kihondo Tukwatanize SACCO in Fort Portal City following its licensing by the Bank of Uganda in August 2026. Onboarding onto the Deposit Insurance Scheme means eligible depositors enjoy the protection and confidence that comes with being under the purview of the Fund - an assurance that deposits are protected up to UGX 10 million - the current coverage limit in the event of Institutional failure. Deposits above the limit are paid by the liquidator after the liquidation process. We welcome Kihondo and other Large SACCOs that have to-date been licensed by the Central Bank. These include EBO SACCO, Kyazanga-Kwegatta SACCO, MADFA SACCO, SAO-Zirobwe SACCO, Rubabo People’s SACCO and the Uganda National Bureau of Standards Staff SACCO. #Yourdepositsareprotected up to UGX 10m.
